This was spicier than I was expecting, but I wasn't mad about that.
Het einde maakte een heleboel goed en er zaten genoeg hete scènes in, maar verder heel wat conflict dat niet helemaal lekker wordt opgelost en heeel veel gepraat over de overleden moeder wat op een gegeven moment niet veel toevoegde. Leo en Marie zijn echt wel leuk samen en de grote daden pasten heel goed in dit verhaal, maar het had wel wat korter gekund om de romantiek echt lekker intens te houden.

Okay, this book super duper fluffy and I'm not even going to try and sidestep that. I think the author succeeded in her goal to write a Hallmark movie into a book. I'm not one for those movies, mainly because the cheesiness makes me cringe with embarrassment, but I think it worked in book form because I was able to escape it by just...skimming forward.
My only real issue with this book is something I don't quite know how to formulate. The best way I can describe it is that...the male lead POV really felt like it was written by a woman. Which is obviously something inescapable is said writer is a woman. There were just some things about him that felt a little bit too flawless or like "ooh here's the perfect guy." This may sound dumb but I don't want a perfect guy nor do o want to read about one. Flaws are so interesting and help shape the character and I really wish that Leo had more to him than "Oh no my parents died." I think the likes of Emily Henry, Helen Hoang, and Tessa Bailey really exceed at this aspect.
I do plan on reading the sequel next holiday season because why not.

Cute hallmarky rom com. They point out how much it’s like hallmark several times. The only down fall of this book is the love interest at times can not get over his need to be a “tough guy”.
Moderate: Cancer, Sexual content, Car accident, Death of parent
